A Look Eastward
Why does so much of the world’s attention keep turning toward the Middle East—and especially toward Israel and Jerusalem? In “A Look Eastward,” Pastor Kurt and Pat Coyle step back from the daily headlines to examine the larger biblical and historical picture. From the rebirth of the modern State of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to the land, to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the wars that followed 1948, the rise of global communications, 9/11, and the growing worldwide focus on Jerusalem, this conversation asks what we can actually observe—and what Scripture says we should be watching. The discussion also considers biblical prophecy, the Day of the Lord, the gathering of Israel, the role of Jerusalem, and the competing religious claims surrounding the Middle East. Rather than setting dates, the goal is to compare the world developing before us with the words Scripture has already given. How did a small piece of land in the Middle East become a matter of worldwide concern? Why does Jerusalem continue to occupy such an extraordinary place in world affairs? And how should Christians think about Israel, Islam, prophecy, and the events unfolding around them? A Look Eastward begins a larger conversation about history, prophecy, competing claims to truth, and the importance of examining those claims carefully through Scripture.
